Agreed 100% (it's not my choice.)



You have my sympathy. (Two years managing an outsourcing operation in India working from specs Bablefished from Japanese. And being told by my Indians that my translations were wrong because Babelfish, Yahoo, and Google outvoted me. And having to justify to management why I was billing months of overtime to debugging in a project where a math error would be national news and where RC1 was delivered in a state where it was literally impossible to pass your test unless you were deaf...)


I'm not sure if my situation is better or worse. In our case they don't even bother trying to clarify specs. :-)
